    Summary

    If you’d already decided love was more than enough, that being together was bigger than fear; if you’d already picked each other over everything else, already picked a season to make it known; if you’d exchanged rings and vows and you knew this was forever and—most significantly—no one’s idiot best friend accidentally outed you early with his stupid side-hustle video scheme: would you stick to the plan?

    Or, would you play a slightly longer game to make your point; would you wait a couple extra months if it meant seizing the opportunity to go big, go bold, shove loving this much in the faces of the naysayers and the assholes and the bigots on an oh-so-convenient, quadrennially-available global stage?

    ~

    Or: No FanMail. No outing. No forced free agency. Just their terms. Just their choice. Just their love.

    So hell yes: Shane and Ilya use the 2022 Winter Olympics as their hard launch. How’s that even a question?

    Scott Hunter’s gonna be so pissed at being upstaged that bad.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander lands his breakout role opposite Ilya Rozanov in a buzzy rivals-to-lovers adaptation. Their on-screen chemistry is electric & their off-screen “practice” is supposed to be no strings attached. When the show airs, the internet starts paying attention & all the lines start to blur.

     

    Or…what if Shane & Ilya were actors who met on the set of an HR-like show, have to deal with fame & semi-unhinged fandom, and are still idiots falling in love.

    (Lots of yearning, some angst but also fluff/HEA.)
     ——————————————————

    “Can I ask you something?” Ilya said.
    Shane’s stomach flipped. “Okay.”
    Ilya hesitated, then said, “Have you ever been with a man?”

    “But,” Ilya added, studying him, “I know you, Shane Hollander.”
    “You do?”
    “You want it to be perfect,” Ilya said simply. “You want to be the best one in the room. Every time.”

    “For authenticity,” Shane said, clinging to the word.
    Ilya’s mouth curved. “Exactly,” he said. “If that helps.”
     ...
    “I’m not saying you need to,” Ilya added. Then the smirk slipped back in to place. “But if you ever decide you want to...I’m here and willing.”

    Summary

    “I’m gay”

    The silence that followed was deafening. He ignored it and went on to put his gear on. After that it was like a flip had been flipped. No one spoke to him during practice or in the changing room, the team chat was suspiciously quiet. No one did anything physical but they didn’t need to. Their silence spoke louder than anything they could have possibly said and Shane wasn’t stupid despite what many of them thought.

     

    Or: After Rose helps him see that he's actually not broken Shane finds it harder to pretend to be something he's not so the truth slips out without his permission. The fall out is unpredictable and the life he's spent years building is falling apart. Still he can't find it in himself to regret it because while it might have caused him a lot of pain in the moment that little slip up might have been the best mistake he'd ever made.
